Real‐Time Flood Forecasting Based on a High‐Performance 2‐D Hydrodynamic Model and Numerical Weather Predictions

Authors: Xiaodong Ming, Qiuhua Liang, Xilin Xia, Dingmin Li, Hayley J. Fowler

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2019wr025583 · Citations: 270

Matched topics: hydrologic model, runoff, flood

Abstract A flood forecasting system commonly consists of at least two essential components, that is, a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model to provide rainfall forecasts and a hydrological/hydraulic model to predict the hydrological response. While being widely used for flood forecasting, hydrological models only provide a simplified representation of the physical processes of flooding due to negligence of strict momentum conservation. They cannot reliably predict the highly transient flo…

A Hybrid Model for Fast and Probabilistic Urban Pluvial Flood Prediction

Authors: Xiaohan Li, Patrick Willems

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2019wr025128 · Citations: 88

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, flood

Abstract Urban flooding is highly uncertain, so the use of probabilistic approaches in early flood warning is encouraged. While well‐established 1‐D/2‐D hydrodynamic sewer models do exist, their deterministic nature and long computational time undermine their applicability for real‐time urban flood nowcasting. Aiming at meeting the needs of fast and probabilistic flood modeling, a new hybrid modeling method integrating a suite of lumped hydrological models and logistic regression is proposed….

Across the Upper Missouri River Basin, the recent drought of 2000 to 2010, known as the “turn-of-the-century drought,” was likely more severe than any in the instrumental record including the Dust Bowl drought. However, until now, adequate proxy records needed to better understand this event with regard to long-term variability have been lacking. Here we examine 1,200 y of streamflow from a network of 17 new tree-ring-based reconstructions for gages across the upper Missouri basin and an inde…

Journal: Science · DOI: 10.1126/science.aba6880 · Citations: 735

Matched topics: climate change

Climate warming is causing a shift in biological communities in favor of warm-affinity species (i.e., thermophilization). Species responses often lag behind climate warming, but the reasons for such lags remain largely unknown. Here, we analyzed multidecadal understory microclimate dynamics in European forests and show that thermophilization and the climatic lag in forest plant communities are primarily controlled by microclimate. Increasing tree canopy cover reduces warming rates inside fore…

The suggested onset of the MMCT, deduced by a marked and rapid decline in Molasse Basin soil temperatures is coeval with cooling reported in high-latitudinal marine records. This is best explained by a change in the seasonal timing of soil carbonate formation that was likely driven by a modification of rainfall seasonality and thus by…

Although low vegetation productivity has been observed in karst regions, whether and how bedrock geochemistry contributes to the low karstic vegetation productivity remain unclear. In this study, we address this knowledge gap by exploring the importance of bedrock geochemistry on vegetation productivity based on a critical zone investigation across a typical karst region in Southwest China. We show silicon and calcium concentrations in bedrock are strongly correlated with the regolith water l…

Tracking the global flows of atmospheric moisture and associated uncertainties

Authors: Obbe A. Tuinenburg, Arie Staal

Journal: Hydrology and earth system sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-24-2419-2020 · Citations: 121

Matched topics: hydrology, earth system model

Abstract. Many processes in hydrology and Earth system science relate to continental moisture recycling, the contribution of terrestrial evaporation to precipitation. For example, the effects of land-cover changes on regional rainfall regimes depend on this process. To study moisture recycling, a range of moisture-tracking models are in use that are forced with output from atmospheric models but differ in various ways. They can be Eulerian (grid-based) or Lagrangian (trajectory-based), have t…

Matched topics: seasonal

Abstract The second version of the Canadian Seasonal to Interannual Prediction System (CanSIPSv2) was implemented operationally at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in July 2019. Like its predecessors, CanSIPSv2 applies a multimodel ensemble approach with two coupled atmosphere–ocean models, CanCM4i and GEM-NEMO. While CanCM4i is a climate model, which is upgraded from CanCM4 of the previous CanSIPSv1 with improved sea ice initialization, GEM-NEMO is a newly developed numerical wea…

Environmental, ecological and health risks of trace metals in sediments of a large reservoir on the Euphrates River (Turkey)

Authors: Memet Varol

Matched topics: river, reservoir

The contents of trace metals (Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn and Fe) in sediment samples from eleven sampling sites in The Keban Dam Reservoir, which is Turkey’s second biggest reservoir, were examined to evaluate spatial distribution, possible sources, contamination status and environmental, ecological and health risks of these metals. The results indicated that enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index and contamination factor values were higher at sampling sites receiving industrial and…

Progress of paludiculture projects in supporting peatland ecosystem restoration in Indonesia

Authors: Ibnu Budiman, Bastoni Bastoni, Eli NN Sari, Etik Erna Wati Hadi, Asmaliyah Asmaliyah, Hengki Siahaan et al.

Matched topics: water management

Sustainable peatland management practices such as paludiculture are crucial for restoring degraded peatland ecosystems. Paludiculture involves wet cultivation practices in peatland and can maintain peat bodies and sustaining ecosystem services. However, information about paludiculture effects on tropical peatlands is limited in the literature. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the effectiveness and progress of paludiculture projects in supporting peatland ecosystem restoration in Indones…

Cumulative impact assessment for ecosystem-based marine spatial planning

Authors: Linus Hammar, Sverker Molander, Jonas Pålsson, Jan Schmidtbauer Crona, Gonçalo Carneiro, Thomas B. Johansson et al.

Journal: The Science of The Total Environment · DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139024 · Citations: 104

Matched topics: runoff

Claims for ocean space are growing while marine ecosystems suffer from centuries of insufficient care. Human pressures from runoff, atmospheric emissions, marine pollution, fishing, shipping, military operations and other activities wear on habitats and populations. Ecosystem-based marine spatial planning (MSP) has emerged worldwide as a strategic instrument for handling conflicting spatial claims among competing sectors and the environment. The twofold objective of both boosting the blue eco…

Error Estimation for Soil Moisture Measurements With Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing and Implications for Rover Surveys

Authors: Jannis Jakobi, Johan Alexander Huisman, Martin Schrön, Justus Fiedler, Cosimo Brogi, Harry Vereecken et al.

Journal: Frontiers in Water · DOI: 10.3389/frwa.2020.00010 · Citations: 95

Matched topics: hydrology

Cosmic ray neutron (CRN) sensing allows for non-invasive soil moisture measurements at the field scale and relies on the inverse correlation between aboveground measured epithermal neutron intensity (1 eV−100 keV) and environmental water content. The measurement uncertainty follows Poisson statistics and thus increases with decreasing neutron intensity, which corresponds to increasing soil moisture. In order to reduce measurement uncertainty, the neutron count rate is usually aggregated over …

Identifying Drivers of Seasonality in Lena River Biogeochemistry and Dissolved Organic Matter Fluxes

Authors: Bennet Juhls, Colin A. Stedmon, Anne Morgenstern, Hanno Meyer, Jens Hölemann, Birgit Heim et al.

Matched topics: river, seasonal

Warming air temperatures, shifting hydrological regimes and accelerating permafrost thaw in the catchments of the Arctic rivers is affecting their biogeochemistry. Arctic rivers monitoring is necessary to observe changes in the mobilization of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from permafrost. The Lena River is the second largest Arctic river and 71 % of its catchment is continuous permafrost. Biogeochemical parameters, including temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), stable water isotopes, …

Leaching losses of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen from agricultural soils in the upper US Midwest

in the first few years after planting, and markedly less after. Among the fertilized crops, the leached N represented 14-38% of the added N over the study period; poplar lost the greatest proportion (38%) and corn was intermediate (23%). Requiring only one third or less of the N fertilization compared to corn, perennial bioenergy crops can substantially reduce N leaching and consequent movement into aquifers and surface waters.
